036: Exploring "The Shack" with the Enneagram and author Paul Young, pt 1

When learning the Enneagram and figuring out your number, one of
the things that complicates the process is trauma and the effect of
trauma on personality development and theory. I always say, I think
personality, just the defensive nature of the personality thickens
on people with trauma. The staircase is steeper that we have to
climb.

Our guest in this two-part episode is not sure if he's a 9 or a
7. And so during the show, we actually get into it, we actually
help Author Paul Young nail it in the second episode. Paul
Young is a human being whose heart and soul are fascinating and are
also enriching. I have a special place of affection in my heart for
Paul, and I know you’re really going to get a lot out of this
show.

Paul Young is the author of The Shack (2007), Cross
Roads (2012), Eve (2015), and he just released his
latest book, Lies we believe about GOD (2017). To
